ClippingDrawings

Clipping Drawings

Create 2D drawings from your 3D model in a few clicks. Maintain the live connection.

3D Model to 2D Drawing

Generate faithful 2D technical drawings from your 3D models! Place ClippingSections on the model where you need floor plans, elevations, and sections, then extract ClippingDrawings directly in Rhino.

Live Connection

Modify the 3D model and update the 2D drawing at will! A simple double-click on a ClippingDrawings to change its settings. Redefine hatches and section styles, modify the 3D model, remove or add elements and update the drawing on demand.

Project in 3D Space

ClippingDrawings can now be projected in their true 3D location. This helps organize drawings, reference their location and view the 3D model behind them using different display modes. Create visually compelling architectural presentations!

Stack Your Drawings

Do you need to generate a drawing per floor level on a multi-story building? AlignClippingDrawings allows you to stack your drawings or place them in a relative location to each other, keep your model organized and tidy.

Curves Included

For models that include curves as background objects, these will now be added as part of the ClippingDrawings .

Manage Properties

Manage the properties of your ClippingDrawings through the different layer options:

Create from Template Layers

Create ClippingDrawings that inherit properties from a set of user-defined layers. Set properties such as color, linetype, print width once. It will apply to all your drawings there after. An easy way to ensure project standards throughout a team!

Inherit from 3D Model

Keep a unique layer structure for both 2D linework and its 3D object. This makes it trivial to maintain the same properties between the 3D model and the ClippingDrawings . Maintain the model clean and tidy without the need for duplicate layers!
